locating related End If for an IF statement?

[Guest]

In C# you have

If ...
{
{
...
}
}

If you place the mouse cursor next to a bracket and press ctrl something
(can't remember) - the corresponding bracket gets highlighted. Does VB2005
have something like that for If statements?

Thanks,

Rich,

Do you really need that, in VB.Net I can go deeper than 20 if I am using C#
I am quick in trouble as I am 7 deep.

I don't know of any key on the C# side of VS that does that. All I eve did
was click just to the left of an open brace or just to the right of a close
brace and it automatically highlighted both the open and close braces.

As far as I've found, VS for VB.NET doesn't have anything similar, keypress
or not.

I believe this is just an IDE macro, so perhaps you could locate the
macro's code in the C# editor and then translate it into the VB
editor.

Thank you all for your replies. As for why I would want to do this:

if ...
....
if...
....
if...
....
end if
...
endif
...
end if


If I have a bunch of nested if statements with code in between each If, it
becomes difficult/tedius to locate the corresponding End IF.

But wouldn't it be better, rather than having several nested if's, to have a
CASE statement? This would alleviate the need to remember how deep you go in
an if statement or the need for remembering which endif goes with it.

Not with different criteria.
